ATTACHMENT E Lawless. Mr. Duncan withdrew the motion. Ms. Kneeland withdrew the second to the motion. Mr. Carroll, seconded by Mr. Lawless, moved to recommend approval of Amendment 3—Residential Density Calculations and further consideration by the Infill Compatibility Standards Task Team. The motion passed 5:2, with Commissioners Carroll, Lawless, Hledik, Beierle and McCown voting in favor and Commissioners Duncan and Kneeland voting in opposition of the motion. Amendment 4—Building Height Measurement in Residential Zones Responding to questions from Mr. Hledik, Ms. Hansen said R-4 was not included in this proposed amendment because the maximum building height in R-4 was 120 feet, and there were concerns about increased height. Mr. Hledik noted consensus to his proposal to allow buildings in R-1, R-2, and R-3 to go to an additional 7 feet for steeper sloped roofs. Ms. Hansen clarified this did not change the allowable building height as compared to current building height provisions. Mr. Hledik, seconded by Mr. McCown, moved to recommend approval of Amendment 4—Building Height Measurement in Residential Zones extended to seven feet rather than five feet. The motion passed unanimously, 7:0. Amendment 8—Stormwater Destination: Encourage On-Site Infiltration as a Preferred Approach and Restrict Fill and Disturbance of Drainage Ways The Commission had a brief discussion regarding the relationship between the Eugene Code and the Stormwater Management Manual, and how issues moved from policy to code. Commissioners Carroll, McCown, and Kneeland preferred that the language be included in the code. Commissioner Duncan preferred that the language remain in the manual. Both Mr. McCown and Mr. Duncan requested that Section 18, 9.6790(6)(c) be deleted if the language was codified, as it was recently removed from the manual. Mr. Lawless preferred that the language not be duplicated in the code and manual. MINUTES—Eugene Planning Commission June 2, 2008 Page 6
